About this book

Many of the encounters between farming and wildlife, especially vertebrates, involve some level of conflict which can cause disadvantage to both the wildlife and the people involved. Through a series of WildCRU case-studies, Wildlife Conservation on Farmland, Volume 2: Conflicts in the Countryside investigates the sources of the problems, and ultimately of the threats to conservation, discussing a variety of remedies and mitigations, and demonstrating the benefits of evidence-based, inter-disciplinary policy.

"[...] Overall, this book should be of interest and value to anyone interested in wildlife conflict, particularly in the context of lowland farmland in Britain."– Mark Wilson, BTO book reviews
